This workshop, associated with the meeting of the European Standards Committee for Geographic information, CEN/TC 287, is aimed at delegates to that meeting, and others involved in standards-setting, or cross-national activities including pan-European projects.

The objective is to share “Best Practices” relating to the implementations of geographic Information standards. Invited speakers will describe the solutions they have adopted, the technical pitfalls and triumphs, and highlight the positive results they have achieved.

The workshop will provide an opportunity to identify requirements for additional standards, and for re-alignments between different existing standards. It aims to reinforce the co-operation among different standardization bodies and to better support the GI community.
